If you’re planning on taking a trip before winter weather hits, you’re not alone. In a recent survey, Triple-A found that more than one in four Americans plan to take a vacation in the time between Labor Day and Thanksgiving. Fall season seems to be the preferred time to travel for people who prefer fewer crowds and children, more mild weather conditions and cost efficient traveling options.
AAA senior vice president Bill Sutherland claimed that savvy travelers can often find lower prices on everything from airfare and hotels to cruises and vacation packages as travel companies offer incentives to fill their vacancies once the summer season comes to a close.
Though reduced plane ticket costs are a possibility, AAA found that most autumn travelers prefer road trips. More than sixty percent of those planning a vacation intend to pack up their vehicles and hit the road in order to make it to their destination. It will probably come as no surprise that twenty-six percent of potential travelers reported taking a trip at this time of the year to view fall foliage.
AAA used travel bookings to decipher popular fall-time destination choices. Most Americans will be traveling within the U.S to places like southern California, New York and Hawaii. However, one-third of fall travelers are planning international voyages. European destinations such as Dublin, Rome and London are especially popular picks for this time of the year.
